.

Go to newegg.com click on computer cases and on the list beside it will say
Motherboard Compatibility atx/micro atx/eATX so if it says micro atx beside it means it supports it. Or click on a case then look under the specifications.

What is your budget for everything? I think the Antec 300 is your best choice and yes your motherboard is mATX so you don't have to worry about that BTX crap.

Sorry, I didn't see the fact that he was getting a new motherboard. I would definitely go with an Antec 300 over the Mini P180 as it forces you to stay with mATX, if you haven't gotten a new board yet I would go for a full ATX board and grab the Antec 300 and a few fans

Im trying to keep it under 130$ if possible lol. But what do you think of that jetway motherboard? Is it any good?

Well it will do for just a motherboard, but I'm pretty certain it's overclocking capabilities are hindered.

I would save up $50 and grab a P45 board or this.

It may be open box, but it would be better in the long run.

Its an OK motherboard but if you can find a P45 I would go with that, what CPU do you have? That board should be good for 400FSB or more with a dual, good luck with your build either way

EDIT> The board listed above would be a great board and most of the time open box motherboards come with most of the accessories

Wow that mobo is awesome. I already have the cables for my stuff on this motherboard but what about the i/o sheild? Don't I kinda need that?

Not really. It has it's purposes, but not necessary. Either way you can buy that separately. More than likely it will have the I/O shield though.

Ok so im going to buy that and the antec 300, thanks for the help guys! But one random question, does anybody know why 3 day shipping on newegg is now 16 bucks?

Differs from product to product. It's more depending on the size and weight of the package of course.
